You can run Vbscript or java script in ASP pages either server side or client side,obviously some advantages are lost and gained depending on your choice but Ii usually use VbScript for server side and java Script for Client Side.
Ii guess it is more a case of personal choice than anything because i know a lot of people who use javaScript server side and they have no problems with it.

My opinion is that with VB Script you can for example create you own ActiveX DLL or Control and use it in a VB Script

This is a way to extend your browser or the content of your application.

Anyway, the problem with using ActiveX and especially for the Web, is that if you control or dll is huge, the people that are going to connect to your web may stop downloading the control as this may take to much time.

I had the problem in the past and i've decided to write in Java instead of using a control.

Also in VBScript you may be able to open an Access Database for exemple and much more stuff.
